Haven't had a chance to read your book yet, so I don't know if I got the brass ring, or the prize in the crackerjack or genie in the bottle.<br /><br />I'm lucky to have a fun project going, a sci-fantasy book contract and cash advance. But the financing ran out in the first month, so now I'm writing it on spec -- not just the book, but the whole trilogy. It's more of my Conan-like pulp, but interplanetary stuff, The Chronicles of Creighton Craven. At least I don't have to write it in antique Hyborian diction; I can use contractions.<br /><br />Now to tackle the Social Networking and get this 21st century thing going. Thanks for all the encouragement back in the day.<br /><br />Len CarpenterLen Carpenterhttp://www.fatalstrain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916332485223671615.post-15554273903917856532011-09-19T07:26:20.718-07:002011-09-19T07:26:20.718-07:00Even here on your blog, your words stand out in br...Even here on your blog, your words stand out in bright contrast to the dark background of your cave, your daily ritual of weaving your spell of high hopes and possibilities over those of us who aspire to the same, even if in some distant future. I watch in awe and listen as you spin your tale of the words that have made it into that brightly lit market place, to weave it's spell on unsuspecting buyers, imbuing them with a dream, or feeding one that already exists within them. *Tsk* Harry Potter...
